Lead systems for Australian painters.
We build the page, the ads, and the booking flow so interior and exterior repaint enquiries land in your calendar — not in a shared lead pool where five other painters are quoting the same job.
How painting leads come in · 2026
Three channels. Different jobs.
Most painters run one of these badly. The crews booking out their week run all three — properly, with campaigns and pages they own outright.
Google Search ads
Target homeowners actively searching — 'house painters Brisbane quote', 'interior painting cost Gold Coast', 'exterior repaint near me'. These searches have high purchase intent and relatively low competition compared to emergency trades.
Meta (Facebook & Instagram)
Before-and-after photo campaigns and suburb-targeted awareness for homeowners in the planning stage. Painting is highly visual — ads with real job photos consistently outperform text-led creative.
Shared-lead platforms
HiPages, Oneflare, ServiceSeeking. Pay per lead — but the same lead is sold to other businesses in your postcode at the same time.
Where it breaks for painters
Five honest leak points.
Across AU service business patterns, the same five problems show up consistently. Two are easy fixes. Three are why marketplace ad spend keeps leaking.
Site-visit bookings are scattered across texts, calls, and emails.
Most painters coordinate quotes via text message. When you're on a job for six hours, enquiries pile up unanswered and the homeowner has already booked someone else by the time you call back.
HiPages sells your lead to multiple competitors.
By the time you ring back, three other painters in your postcode have quoted. The customer is shopping on price, not picking you.
Quotes go out slow.
Quote-out time is the single biggest predictor of job-won rate. Most painting businesses quote within 3–5 days of first contact. The crews fully booked 8 weeks out turn quotes around in 24 hours.
No line from call → job → revenue.
You're running Google and Meta ads but can't say which suburb or campaign produced the exterior repaint that kept the crew busy for two weeks. Every budget decision is a guess.
Reviews live on someone else's listing.
Every 5-star review on HiPages props up their marketplace — not your Google profile. Cancel them tomorrow, lose the social proof.

Painting · questions we get
Six things painters actually ask.
These come up on every diagnostic call. If something else is on your mind, ask Andrew during the audit — he'd rather over-explain than under-promise.
